Aesop's Fables Summary

791 Words4 Pages

After the completion of eleven weeks’ homework, we have completed a journey to reap the truth in a small story. When I was young, I had read Aesop’s Fables which was translated in Chinese. At that time, the vivid story of human life, the wonderful language description, the thought-provoking reasoning made me learn a lot. And this term’s study not only brought back my knowledge of this book, but also let me harvest amount of English skills during translated English in Chinese. Such as the new words, vocabulary, sentence patterns, writing techniques, and etc. All of them is worth spending energy to study intensively. I made a little summary as follows. Firstly, I want to tell the new words, it is the key to understand the meaning of the article. …show more content…

As the old saying goes : Frank words offend the ear but are good for improving one’s conduct. We always lost in coxcombical praise, but faced with the honest advice, we usually become angry about it. Why? That’s because we can’t confront the shortcomings of ourselves. To make a great progress and improve ourselves, we must be good at listening, learn a lesson from others and rectify the faults. I think this principle is the key to be good at our daily life, daily work, study even the interpersonal interaction. Whenever keeping modest must make you rewarding. Anyway after this term the gain is more than the lost. I learn many English writing techniques, record many new words and expressions. But I think I am lazy in the work, I usually put off writing the reflections of the work since the eighth week, I promise that I will correct it, pay attention in it and hand in the homework the next term. Besides, I have some suggestions about this course. I think we should read the book that continues to echo down the centuries. The heavy cultural foundation may help us a lot. Then I think much reading is not necessary but we should remember what we learn and utilize it. That’s the important thing. Maybe we should much time to remember next is reading

Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

1039 Words | 5 Pages

With the use of the internet, our brains have become used to skimming over information and what we learn has been greatly lessened. When reading an article in the past, time would be taken to read through the entire text to gain a good grasp of what the writer was communicating. Now, for most people, an article is read more than once to grasp its intent. Carr said, “Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged” (Carr). Part of the problem is that since all we do is skim over that which is read, the ability to read and absorb a long article or book has been lost.

Jonathan Gottschall And Superman And Me

165 Words | 1 Pages

Reading is something that we do every day and all day, no matter what form of reading it may be, perhaps, reading a text, skimming over a tweet, reading a billboard, or even reading a long lengthy passage that was instructed by your professor. When it comes to reading many advantages can be taken away from just the shortest passages. A person who reads more is more likely to be up to date with the latest news, show empathic growth and pro- social behavior. People with little reading experience are less likely to be equipped for the general population, resulting in high school dropouts, unemployment, and a declining social life. The readings Is Fiction Making Us Stupid by Jonathan Gottschall, and Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie are outstanding,

The Oresteia is a trilogy written by the Greek author Aeschylus that comprises of three plays; Agamemnon, the libation bearers, and the Eumenides. The central theme of this book is “justice” which in the case of Orestes has led to exile. This book was written at a time when the star of Athens was in decline. It was a time that marked the establishment of a new socio- political order, a democracy adjudicated by the rule of law. This rule of law meant the institutionalization of justice (i.e. having a justice system), where cases are heard and verdicts are being reached based on evidence.

Stephen King Reading To Write Analysis

I should have been opened up my eyes to reading and writing because I want to be a teacher, assistant. I always liked working with kids, and I will like to be a great assistant. Since there's no way to become a teacher assistant or even a teacher without having reading and writing skills, I will have to read and write more often. It is like King says "If you want to be a writer, you must do to things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot" (72, 73). If I want to be a teacher assistant or maybe a teacher one day I must ameliorate my reading and writing.

Reflective Essay On Interpersonal Communication

1129 Words | 5 Pages

In general—even prior to my communications class—I consider myself a skilled communicator and a friend that is more than willing to listen to someone’s struggles; however, I did not recognize how much psychology was behind the way we communicate. Prior to registering for the class I knew I had areas to improve upon such as body language, lack of self-disclosure, and attribution, all of which I created plans to therefore enhance, but I had no doubt in my capabilities to be empathetic, skillful at solving conflict, and confident while speaking in front of others. Throughout the class I realized that more often than my words,
